I heard that phrase somewhere. (wink)

If the temperature is above 25º F. don't drive onto a lake. That seems kind of obvious even though I've never been ice fishing.

When I was a kid in Scouting, we had a winter jamboree on a frozen lake. It was -20º and the lake was frozen so solid, we built a campfire on top of the ice!
